First and foremost we want everyone to know that we’ve been listening to your feedback and are taking a number of significant steps to make changes to improve the experience. Our last two patches have been focused on stability improvements, but this patch has a lot of significant feature updates for you to dive into. Most notably, we have a lot of balance changes, UI Improvements and changes to the campaign/multiplayer modes. We also implemented ultrawide monitor support

We've been reading and compiling feedback from everywhere and they’ll be the base of our post-launch updates. As we're working on the next patches, we wanted to give you more visibility on our top priorities for upcoming fixes.

• PvP Timeouts: We are investigating the issue causing some players to timeout and get ejected from a game.
  
• Progression Blockers: We are aware of crashes/bugs on specific encounters and wargear impeding progression. This Includes hidden units and all sorts of bugs that are preventing the mission from being completed.
  
• Hangouts: Some animations are causing delays in action resolution, which can slow the pace of combat.

Ensuring everyone has a smooth experience is of course our top priority. We are continuously reading your feedback and we are prioritizing fixing game-breaking bugs.


In line with this objective of having the smoothest game possible on a technical level, it would be very helpful for us if you submitted the Unreal Engine crash report every time you experience a crash!

Hi everyone!

Today we’re happy to reveal more about the three playable factions in Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground. Though individual detailed videos, you will learn more about how they play, and what makes them unique.
Will you side with the Stormcast Eternals and defend the Mortal Realms? Will you spread Death across the battlefield with the Nighthaunts? Or will you corrupt the land you seek to conquer with the Maggotkin of Nurgle? The choice is yours.


Pick one of Storm Ground’s three factions - the stalwart Stormcast Eternals, the ghoulish Nighthaunt and the putrescent Maggotkin - and lead your highly-customisable force in this dynamic turn-based strategy game packed with fast-paced warfare. Unlock new units, wargear, weapons and devastating skills across the game’s three solo campaigns and multiplayer modes to improve your armies and become a force to be reckoned with.

The Eternals, Storm Ground’s sturdiest warriors, are worthy of their name. Banding together in tight formations around their hero allows them to withstand tons of damage and shine in long battles.

Nighthaunts on the other hand are much more fragile, relying on debuffs to weaken their enemies and on summoning units to overwhelm them.

Last but not least, the Maggotkin compensate their generally sluggish movement with an unrivaled ability to control the battlefield, turning hex tiles into dangerous hazard zones that inflict debilitating effects on the toughest of enemies with ease.
